Epileptic seizures, also known as generalized convulsions, involve more than half of patients experiencing prodromal symptoms such as dizziness, disorientation, upper abdominal discomfort, and disturbances in sound, light, and smell. During a seizure (the severe pain recurrence phase), some patients may first emit sharp cries, followed by loss of consciousness and falling, accompanied by generalized muscle rigidity, delayed breathing, and the head and eyes may turn to one side. Within seconds, there is a series of convulsive spasms, which gradually soften. Family members should still pay attention to promptly taking the child for treatment to control the epilepsy and prevent frequent recurrence of the condition.
